I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our readers to local businesses they need to know. If that's you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories in Huntington today:

1. A scuffle at Huntington Library leads to potential charges for a woman. A man and woman got into an argument back on Nov. 4 which led to the woman grabbing and breaking the man's phone. The woman is wanted for criminal mischief and harassment. You can see a photo of her in the link. If you have any information, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-221-TIPS. Huntington Patch)
2. A week man was seriously injured in the Stop & Shop parking lot off Jericho Turnpike. The woman was struck by a vehicle Wednesday morning and taken to Huntington Hospital. The driver was not injured, and further details were not released. (Huntington Patch)
3. Rain is in the forecast for New Year's Eve. We hope you're enjoying the start of the warm front after staying warm through frigid temperatures during the Christmas holiday weekend! New Year's Eve will bring the temperature up to 50 degrees, but steady rain will fall through the afternoon and night. New Year's Day will be a beautiful one, with temperatures in the mid 50s and sunny skies forecasted! (Weather.com)
